​THE CHEF : THE LAIGONG’S PEDIGREE賴公三合派

​Lai BuYi 賴布衣 SanHe Sect 賴公三合派 also known as SanHe Heavenly Star School 三合天星派 is an integral part of the New Method 新法. Lai BuYi claimed to have written, a difficult book, Urging Officer Scroll 《催官篇》. It contained techniques known as Embrace Leaning Star Method 撥砂挨星法: -

1. Leaning Star 挨星法 is to Establish Facing to Receive Water 立向收水.2. It is also called, eliminate embrace to acquire water 消砂納水.3. Or simply Recline Mountain and Push Killing 收山出煞.

Many different jargons same story. This Leaning Star is called – Assistant Star Water Method 輔星水法.

​INGREDIENT 01 : ASSISTANT STAR WATER METHOD 輔星水法

​The operative word – Assistant Star 輔星, self-explanatory is rooted in Changing Yao 飛爻, starts from the Assistant Stars – FuBi 輔弼, ends with WenQu 文曲. These 8 stars will determined the auspiciousness of incoming and outgoing water. Offspring of Assistant Star Method 輔星水法 are Five Ghost Carry Wealth 五鬼運財. This technique is mentioned in Entering Earth Eye 《入地眼》. This work was believed to predate all other YangGong technique. The Human Plate 人盤 and the Heaven Plate 天盤 have not been invented. Assuming. Lai BuYi borrowed this method, the use of Human Plate 人盤 to measure will not get consistent results. Assuming this Entering Earth Eye has been bastardized and somehow Assistant Star Method managed to creep into its pages, shouldn’t the Heaven Plate 天盤 be used to audit water? Blatantly, Entering Earth Eye state that Heaven Plate 天盤 is full of crap, years before Lai BuYi was born! Furthermore, what about Assistant Star’s long lost cousin, Huang ShiGong 3 Nobles 6 Auspicious 黄石公三吉六秀? Simultaneous application or standalone?

​​INGREDIENT 02 : 24 HEAVENLY STARS METHODOLOGY 廿四天星法

​The predecessor to Assistant Star Method is believed to come from the 24 Heavenly Stars Method 廿四天星法. 24 Heavenly Stars were derived from the ZiWei enclosure. These stars represent the Imperial Court such as Heavenly King 天皇, representing the Monarch. It was said that the Hai Dragon 亥龍 produces Emperor. Hai 亥 is associated with Heavenly King 天皇 star. The other nobles are: -

These collectively made up the 3 Nobles 6 Auspicious 三吉六秀 where the 6 Auspicious were derived from 24 Obscure Heavenly Stars NaJia 廿四渾天星纳甲. To those school who subscribed that Entering Earth Eye 《入地眼》 predates Urging Officer Scroll, they will annex these 24 Heavenly Stars to the Earth Plate 地盤, while LaiGong School 賴公派 will annex these 24 Stars to the Human Plate 人盤 , to derive YinYang. This method became the qualifier to Assistant Star Method and 3 Nobles 6 Auspicious三吉六秀.

​Assistant Star Method 輔星水法 and 3 Nobles 6 Auspicious三吉六秀 measure the dynamic. The Human Plate 人盤, invention of Lai BuYi, measures the static. Static and dynamic are the manifestation of Formula versus Landform as the saying goes 巒頭無假理氣無真. Within Human Plate 人盤, its YinYang were derived from the 24 Heavenly Stars while its element is derived from the 28 asterism 廿八天星.

24 Heavenly Stars 廿四天星 differed from 28 asterism 廿八天星. 24 Heavenly Stars are star groups within the ZiWei enclosure while 28 asterism are star groups within the equatorial belt. It is this 28 asterism 廿八天星 that defined the static elements of the Human Plate 人盤. Human Plate’s 24 mountains were divided into 6 groups: –

​Zhang JiuYi 張九儀 (1660 – 1730) studied under Jiao RenShan 焦仁山, disciple to Lai BuYi 賴布衣. He is believed to be the torch bearer for LaiGong’s lineage. From his writing, Earth Study Alchemical Towrope《地理鉛彈子》, it is learnt that one undisclosed secret technique called – Central & Fire Two Star Methodology 中火二星法, is the key to ignite LaiGong’s method.

As a rule of thumb, this technique require one to: -

1. Employ the Heavenly Ruler 量天尺, simply means measuring the 28 asterism 廿八天星.2. There is a full fledge art of doing this - Seven Governors and the Four Remainders 七政四餘.3. Narrow down and to locate the positions of the Central Star 中星 and the Fire Star 火星 (see table).4. To establish the 4 Auspicious and the 3 Nobles 四吉三奇 within.5. 4 Auspicious 3 Nobles 四吉三奇 are Yi乙, Bing丙, Ding丁, 3 Nobles 三奇.6. Locate the Salaried Horse Nobleman Method 祿馬貴人法 within.

It is really Rocket Science in Lai BuYi’s time. In Urging Officer it states, Fiery Star 火星 not rise Officer 官 not prominent 火星不起官不顯. In Zhang’s writing, it states, without the Central Star, nobility will not see 無中不發富, without the Fire Star, ignition will not take place 無火不開科. Can you believed it? We must take this with a huge pinch of salt…

THE COOKING...

The 24 Heavenly Star methodology 廿四天星法 forms the Body 體 or the Principle. To some it is a way to locate the Meridian Spot – LaiGong Dotting the Meridian Technique 賴公點穴法. Others believed that it is how based on the precedents of the Royal Imperial Tombs’ FengShui, these proved the quality of the TangLang 贪狼, JuMen 巨门, WenQu 文曲, WuQu 武曲 and FuBi 輔弼 stars are auspicious perpetually as it corresponds to the Great Subtlety 天贲, Heavenly Market 天市, Great Yi 太乙, Lesser Subtlety 少微, Heavenly Monarch 天皇 and the Purple Enclosure 紫微. Collectively, they are named – Mother Earth Flipping Trigram Nine Star Plate 地母反卦九星盤, where Kun trigram is the Host. That is also where GuiChang 归藏 was to be arranged…

Mother Earth Flipping Trigram Nine Star Technique 地母反卦九星法 was later enlarged to cover what is now known as 3 Auspicious 6 Elegance 三吉六秀 as Mountain Method 山法 and Assistant Star 輔星 as Water Method 水法. Both methodologies form the Application 用. When one uses the Mountain Method 山法, one is able to simultaneously narrow down to the specific 60D Penetrating Dragon 穿山龍 GuiChang Gua 归藏卦. When one uses the Water Method 水法, one is able to simultaneously narrow down to the specific 60D Penetrating Dragon 穿山龍 Obscure Heaven Gua 渾天卦.

Human Plate Embrace Method 人盤中針撥砂法 is a static application to evaluate the quality of the embrace 砂 protecting the Meridian 穴. When one uses the Embrace Method 砂法, one is able to simultaneously narrow down to the specific 60D Penetrating Dragon 穿山龍 LianShan Gua 连山卦, by measuring the embraces’ peaks. All the 3 sets of Gua 三般卦 derived from the 3 sets of 60D Penetrating Dragon 穿山龍 GuiChang 归藏, Obscure Heaven 渾天 and LianShan 连山 Gua would enable a detailed readings of: -

Salaried Horse Noblemen 祿馬貴

3 Mysterious and 6 Auspicious三奇四吉

Having said so, there is a much reserved techniques called the Central and Fire Two Stars Methodology 中火二星法. It is where you need to determine the arrival of the Central 中星 and Fire Stars 火星 respectively. These require a little bit of acrobatics with astronomy as both stars are in reference to the Pole Star 紫微 (To locate the Pole Star read HERE) and the planet Mars 火星, to enable specific date selections so as to allow for immediate FengShui outcome.​To eliminate Killing Qi or ShaQi 殺氣, the techniques of Great Sun and Great Moon formulas 太陽太陰到山 are prescribed as the saying goes, when the Great Sun and Great Moon 太陽太陰到山 arrived at the particular mountain, all malignant Qi will be dissolved. This will enable one to determine your seating… not just the greatly misunderstood basic date selection techniques.

​THE EATING...

​There are 2 sets of 28 asterism rings currently found in most modern LuoPan: -

The Old – Epoch is set in the beginning of Sung Dynasty 宋朝 960, known as KaiXi 開禧 epoch.

The New – Epoch is set in the beginning of Qing Dynasty 清朝 1644, known as ShiXian 時憲 epoch.

By 2008 (another JiaZi cycle) it would have lapsed 364 years. By virtue of YuXi 虞喜 calculation (being the first Chinese astronomer who observed the Precession of the Equinoxes), suggested that for every 70+ years the precession of the equinoxes ShuiCha 歲差 would rendered the asterisms to be deviated by 1 degree and with such 364 years, that will make up a total of 5.2 degree deviations.

LaiGong 賴公 uses the Old Epoch. By this time, due to precession of the earth, the current degree of the 28 asterism 廿八天星 would have been out of sync by 15 degree (that is One Mountain). By the same token, it means to say these techniques of LaiGong 賴公 would have been stale. Some practitioners warrant that the current degree of the 28 asterism 廿八天星 would have to be updated every 70 years – most likely you only need to do once every life time and to re-engineered the entire techniques to keep them applicable.

One School suggested that you may need to read the New Epoch and to traced back to the Old Epoch when validating old graves based on LaiGong's methodology.

This paper continues to examine the employment of QiMen 奇門 in the interpretation of the 60 Obscure Heaven Gua 渾天卦. The YangGong New Method School XinFa 新法 has given us a new perspective as to how pre-SanYuan theories had included QiMen 奇門 into the equation and making them as complicated as “Rocket Sciences” of their era. Apparently this tapestry makes the core knowledge of YangGong method into disarray and somehow lacked the simplicity and originality of the YangGong old method 古法派. It has given such an obscure aftertaste as though YangGong, himself is not able to consolidate the art and science of FengShui, but to adopt whole heartedly, the full bloom methods of his time - QiMen 奇門 into his formulation. While investigating this matter, the author strongly believed that such inclusions may have been done by others, not having the entire knowledge of the true genuine YangGong methods and trying their very best to make up for the lack of knowledge into a collective whole now called - The YangGong New Method School, XinFa 新法.

We were made to aware of a Poem by Zhang JiuYi 张九仪, that summarized the entire knowledge of The YangGong New Method School, XinFa 新法. Next, we would be surprised by the fact that there are more than one way to arrange the JiaZi, called – HongLuan JiaZi 紅鸞甲子. Not only that, we also learnt where SanYuan people adopted the earliest known 60 Hexagrams into their DaGua Plate 大卦盤 through the now extinct LianShan 連山, GuiChang 歸藏, ZhouYi 周易 to come out with HunTian 渾天 Gua卦. It is also from here, that we learnt as to how the pre-SanYuan people adopted the SanBan Gua techniques 卦取三般. More importantly how these people analyse the SanBan Gua 三般卦 through the lenses of Obscure Heaven NaJia 渾天納甲. This, unfortunately is not simple, but the “rocket sciences” of the day that include QiMen 奇門 – as in the Three Mysterious 三奇 and the Four Auspicious 四吉.

​THE THREE MYSTERIOUS AND FOUR AUSPICIOUS 三奇四吉

This term is not unusual for the field of QiMen 奇門 but is highly unusual in the field of YangGong FengShui. In QiMen 奇門 the Three Mysterious 三奇 is referring to Yi乙, Bing丙 and Ding丁. These 3 stems are the imperial families of Jia甲, the emperor. Yi乙 is the sister of Jia. Bing丙 is the Prince to Jia甲 and Ding丁 is the Princess to Jia甲. Collectively these 3 stems are the known as the Three Mysterious 三奇. When the Three Mysterious 三奇 are present, the outcome of the particular palace is known to be auspicious. Even in the face of a Killing Qi, its effect will be neutralized.​The Four Auspicious 四吉 is not unusual for the field of QiMen 奇門 as it refers to the 8 Doors. 4 of these doors are auspicious such as Rest休, Life生, Open開 and Harm傷. When the Four Auspicious 四吉 are present, the outcome of the particular palace for human factors are auspicious.

​LOCATING THE THREE MYSTERIOUS 三奇

​Based on the same chart called 6Jia Streams Establishing FuTou 六甲旬符頭, for every 6Jia Streams 六甲旬, there is a stem that Jia (the Emperor) would hide itself in. This is called DunJia 遁甲, Hiding the Jia甲. These Stems (being the Generals), where the Jia甲 would hide itself, is called XunShou 旬首. There are 6 XunShou 旬首.

​ESTABLISHING THE EARTH PLATE ​地​盤

​Take this Obscure Heaven 60D 渾天60龍 as an example… This 60D BingZi has given this Wind over Water, Kun 困 Hexagram - Trap. BingZi found itself within Great Snow 大雪 of the 24 JieQi 節氣, Middle Hou 中候, YinDun 陰遁 – reverse order, taking Ju7 七局 – where the following FuTou 符頭 is JiaXu stream starts from Dui the order of Wu戊, Ji己, Geng庚, Xin辛, Ren壬, Gui癸, Ding丁, Bing丙, Yi乙 in the reverse order. As a result, you will obtain the Earth Plate.

​ESTABLISHING THE HEAVEN PLATE ​​天盤

From the Earth Plate, locate XunShou旬首 for JiaXu stream is Ji己 and it is located at Qian palace. Replace Wu戊 in Dui palace with XunShou旬首 - Ji己 and rotate accordingly. As a result, you will obtain Heaven Plate. The Three Mysterious 三奇 are located as the followings: -

Yi乙 in Li Palace (9)

Ding丁in Qian Palace (6)

Bing丙 in Xun Palace (4)

​LOCATING THE FOUR AUSPICIOUS 四吉

Before one can locate the Four Auspicious 四吉 Door, one has to locate the Lead Star that is also known as the Purple Star 紫星. In QiMen 奇門, it is known that the Star 星 gives power to the Door 門. The Purple Star 紫星 is located at XunShou旬首 - Ji己 Earth Plate Qian Palace (6). Replace the star #6, which is the Purple Star 紫星, into the Dui palace and rotate accordingly.​As the Purple Star 紫星 empowers the Door 門, the Open Door 開 now becomes the Lead Door also known as the Purple Door 紫門. Replace the Open Door 開 - Purple Door 紫門 into the Dui Palace and rotate accordingly… As a result, the Four Auspicious 四吉 Door are located as the followings: -​

Open Door 開 - Dui Palace (7)

Rest Door 休 - Qian Palace (6)

Life Door 生 - Li Palace (9)

Harm Door 傷 - Gen Palace (8)

CONCLUSION

This is the FIRST TIME, QiMen FengShui has been disclosed in this manner. In the common technique of QiMen for FengShui, especially so from the Money squeezing Academy of Chinese metaphysics (MsAocm), QiMen FengShui is mainly used for Remote Sensing, whereby a QiMen chart is open and a prediction is made based on the ingredients of the chart to say: -

Where is the In-coming Qi

Where is the Out-going Qi

Where is the Killing Qi

Where are the wealth, nobility, academic and so forth...

Further to that, SanYuan QiMen DunJia 三元奇門遁甲 may extend its application to SanYuan YuanKong DaGua 三元元空大卦, forming the mouthful SanYuan XianTian YuanKong DaGua QiMen DunJia 三元先天元空大卦奇門遁甲, another subject offered for sale by the legendary Money squeezing Academy of Chinese metaphysics (MsAocm). It was also believed that this secret techniques mirrored the legendary grand-master Zeng ZiNan's 曾子南 XieZi Fa 些子法 (Details read HERE). In one of the Money squeezing Academy of Chinese metaphysics (MsAocm) master trainer's own words, he cannot reconcile the application of SanYuan YuanKong DaGua 三元元空大卦 until his late master Chen BeiSheng 陈倍生 disclosed to him the simultaneous application of SanYuan QiMen DunJia 三元奇門遁甲.

​From this point onward, it is obvious that the pre-SanYuan XianTian YuanKong DaGua QiMen DunJia 三元先天元空大卦奇門遁甲 has its root from the HunTian Gua 渾天卦 application, where the 60 Obscure Heaven Gua 渾天 卦 are preset with the Static QiMen Plate 奇門盤.

Note: Please take note that the above said illustration is only one example adopted by ONE school. We do not recommend the use of the above said techniques due to many faults. Kindly enroll into our academy if you want to learn more, otherwise just take it as information only... Reader's discretion is highly recommended. ​

This paper continues to examine the purpose of employing the techniques of the Six Jia Flying Palaces 六甲飛宫, not only to obtain the Son Father Wealth and Officer 子父財官 positions, but to identify the palaces of Salaried (Officer) + (Speedy) Horse + Noblemen 祿馬貴人 positions. Generally, identifying such would enable one to acquire wealth 財 through high positions or nobility of being an Officer 官. As it goes, pre-SanYuan adopting Gods and Killing Methodology 神殺 in judging the embrace 論砂, meaning if there is any significant mountain peaks at the location of Salaried Horse Noblemen 祿馬貴人, it is deemed to have fulfilled such conditions. Gods and Killing Methodology 神殺 are astrologically biased.

​Fine observation revealed that Salary is annexed to the Stem’s 12 growth phases of Officer 官. In other words, one has to locate the Officer 官 palace of any given formation, to locate the “Salaried Officer” 官祿.

​URGING HORSE 驛馬

​Fine observation revealed that Horse is annexed to the Stem’s 12 growth phases of Sickness 病. In olden times, when in sickness one has to take a speedy Horse to call for help. In other words, one has to locate the Sickness 病 palace of any given formation, to locate the “Urging Horse” 驛馬.

​NOBLEMAN 貴人

​There are a number of Noblemen… namely, YinYang Noblemen 陰陽貴人 and TianYi Noblemen 天乙貴人. For TianYi Noblemen 天乙貴人, please read HERE… while YinYang Noblemen is as the followings: -

Locate from the 6 Yao Technique 用爻法 the location of the Salaried Horse Nobility 祿馬貴 respectively… from the same example, you will obtain: -

Salaried 祿 not found…

Horse 馬 is in 1st Yao

Noblemen 貴 is in 4th Yao

​Mapping against the QiMen Flying Palaces 飛宫奇門, you will find that Both Horse 馬 and Noblemen 貴 is in Kun Palace (2), while the formation does not contain the Salaried Officer 祿. It simply means to say, this 60D do not bring about WEALTH factor for its later generation... What a MISS!

CONCLUSION

​All these “rocket sciences” ultimately narrowed down a technique called – 1080 Lines Method 線法. Some believed that this is a long lost method of the final rim within the SanHe LuoPan. Other dismissed it as simply – Pure Nonsense. It is within 0.33 degree accuracy. Before we narrow down our exploration down this path, let us also investigate what is probably known as the 3 Mysterious and the 4 Auspicious 三奇四吉. That will be another story for another time.

Note: Please take note that the above said illustration is only one example adopted by ONE school. We do not recommend the use of the above said techniques due to many faults.

This paper continues to single out the analysis of the Obscure Heaven 60D as a continuous examination of the use of the 3 sets of Earth Penetrating Dragon, hereinafter called the equal division 60D. XinFa 新法 continues to surprise us with many pre-SanYuan theories that may not have been widely known before to the mainstreams. In this instances, we are able to see how the SanYuan proponent actually adopted the 3 kinds of Gua 三般卦 into its SanYuan DaGua methodology. They singularly distilled the Obscure Heaven 60D as the pre-cursor to the currently known SanYuan DaGua Heaven Plate. Even more surprising, SanYuan DaGua actually adopted the Yao Application Methodology 用爻法 as their analysis of the 5 relationships.

This article will continue to disclose the intimate secrets of the Yao Method 爻法 to eventually link SanYuan to GuSanShi 古三式, or the ancient Three Styles of DunJia 遁甲, TaiYi 太乙 and LiuRen 六壬. Collectively, these GuSanShi 古三式 are also called QiMen SanShi 奇門三式. The root of SanYuan vested in QiMen. The root of QiMen vested in the Calendric Systems. The Calendric Systems are the forerunner of how Qi spirals through the LoShu giving birth to the forerunner of SanYuan Flying Stars called – The Six Jia Flying Palaces 六甲飛宫. In ancient time, the term Flying Palaces 飛宫 means Flying Star.

6 JIA FLYING PALACES 六甲飛宫

The analysis of Obscure Heaven NaJia 渾天納甲, Yao Application Methodology 用爻法 is also sometimes called the 5 Relationship Analysis 五亲 to identify the locations of Child 子, Father 父, Wealth 財 and Officer 官. Unlike the normal 6Yao Divination techniques, the Self is not referred to as it is related to the deceased.

Take this Obscure Heaven 60D 渾天60龍 as an example…

This 60D BingZi has given this Wind over Water, Kun 困 Hexagram - Trap. By virtue of Obscure Heaven NaJia 渾天納甲, we obtained: -

Child 子 is in 4th YaoFather 父 is in 2nd and 6th YaoWealth 財 is in 1st YaoOfficer 官 in 3rd Yao

All these 5 Relations 五亲 are presence in this example. This Hexagram conforms to bring tidings to Resources and Descendent Luck, Wealth and Officer Relationships. The question now is which are the sectors that will bring GOOD TIDINGS?

The 6 Yao Method 六爻法 is supposed to have its own way to insert the “directional factors” into the equation by adopting the 4 Heraldic Beasts Methodology 四象法. However this is not the case… Instead, it opted for QiMen 奇門… giving hint the possibility that the 6 Yao’s 6 Heraldic Beasts Method 六爻六象法 is a later modification or invention derived from QiMen 奇門.

​SANYUAN QIMEN 三元奇門

​QiMen 奇門, being one of the oldest art forms are the mother of SanYuan 三元. The entire framework of SanYuan 三元 is built upon the foundation of QiMen 奇門 via a perpetual set of clockworks that closely knitted to the calendric system. To further understand such, you ought to know these fundamentals such as JieQi 節氣, Hou 候, Dun 遁 and Ju 局.

The 60D 60龍, having 6 of its pair receiving additional 2 Hou 候 will give a total of 72 Hou 候 of the 24 JieQi 節氣 or Seasonal Node. From these 24 seasonal nodes, the first half are Yang Dun 遁 and the second half are Yin Dun 遁. This YinYang threshold is a border that will cut through the winter 冬至 and the summer solstices 夏至. The Dun 遁 will decides how Qi would dance to the comic music… and as a results, a recognisable patterns that repeats and mirrors itself called Formation Ju 局 are created. These Formation Ju 局 are the indexes of which a QiMen 奇門 plate will be constructed.

DIFFERENT SCHOOLS DIFFERENT STROKES. Not all schools agree on the followings: -

The YinYang threshold of the Dun 遁 in relation to the LuoPan. Surprisingly not many are aware that there used to be a 24 JieQi 節氣 ring showing the YinYang threshold of the Dun 遁 cutting across Chou and Wei, instead of Zi and Wu that was no longer found in modern LuoPan. There is a reason as to why Chou and Wei is the YinYang threshold. From these differences, the following will also be subjected to debate…

The Hou 候 may not be assigned properly to the respective 60D and affecting the Ju 局 as well.

The issue of the intercalary calendrical calibration. As a result, 2 conflicting methodologies were adopted, namely JhiRun 置潤 and CaiBu 拆補.

For the ease of discussion, we had appended herewith a schedule for discussion only. We, personally don’t quite buy this “shit”.

​LOCATING THE 6 JIA LEAD 六甲旬符頭

​In SanYuan 三元 the 60 JiaZi are generally grouped into Streams 旬 of 6, being each controlling 10 JiaZi. Therefore the lead stem or FuTou 符頭 are the 6Jia 六甲, leaders of the streams. In this exercise, one ought to locate the leaders of every Yao’s JiaZi. This will determine where the starting point of every 6Jia 六甲 is, in the next episode…

CONCLUSION

It becomes obvious that the “Rocket Science” of the day, is to eventually complicate the reading of the Yao 爻法 into Flying Palaces QiMen 飛宫奇門. This may also be the reason how SanYuan proponent improvise such into creating their very own Yao analysis based on 定爻法 Fixed Yao method, 飛爻法 Flying Yao method and 抽爻換象 Flipping Yao to change the imagery method [Details read HERE]. They cannot just exist out of thin air, right?

Locating Father, Son, Wealth and Officer locations are to enable one to further identify another sets of “Jewels” or “Treasure Box” known in FengShui jargon as Salaried Horse Nobleman 祿馬貴. That shall be another story for another day…

Note: Please take note that the above said illustration is only one example adopted by ONE school. We do not recommend the use of the above said techniques due to many faults.

​This paper continues to examine the use of the 3 sets of Earth Penetrating Dragon, hereinafter called the equal division 60D. XinFa 新法 proud of having knew the secret of these 60D. While the GuFa 古法 thinks that it is absurd to "pull down your pants to fart". The 3 rings of 60D is never to be found in the modern SanHe LuoPan. The only traces left was the 60D attached to the Human Plate 人盤. It was 'extinct' since. Later XinFa 新法 morphed it into the early SanYuan School. These 3 rings of the 60D paved the method now, known as the 64 SanYuan DaGua.

​CHINESE ASTRONOMY 101 - OBSCURE HEAVEN 渾天

​Obscure Heaven 渾天 is referred to as the "Egg-like hypothesis" where the earth is surrounded by a “Heaven” sphere rotating over it. The celestial bodies are attached to the “Heaven” sphere. To demarcate the static dimensions of the Heaven, Heavenly stars were employed. There were generally 2 sets Heavenly stars, Group of stars within the ZiWei Enclosure and Group of stars within the Equatorial Belt, known as 28 asterism 廿八天星.

To demarcate the dynamic dimensions of the Heaven, these 7 governors 七政 were employed. They are the 5 planets, namely, Mercury 水星, Venus 金星, Mars 火星, Jupiter 木星, Saturn 土星, Sun日 and Moon 月. Collectively, these are the early Geocentric Model of the Obscure Heaven 渾天. These 7 governors 七政 move while the stars are fixed. They are called the “celestial - palaces” 星宮. Observer from earth created devises such as armillary sphere 渾儀 to “measure the Heaven”. Time master 時師 morph it into the LuoPan and thus called Heavenly Ruler 量天尺 or the outer astronomical rings.

This is what it meant by Obscure Heaven opens the precious mirror 渾天開寶鏡.

​PLATE LINE 盤線

​Plate and Line 盤線, is a jargon comprises of 2 words, the Plate 盤 which is referring to the face of the LuoPan and the Line 線 which is the string attached to the LuoPan. Collectively, it is a verb meaning pressing against the string so as to “lock” the plate of the LuoPan from moving. Only by virtue of such, the Precious Mirror 寶鏡 can be opened, a romantic jargon of reading the LuoPan.

SANYUAN 60 DRAGON 三元60龍

Each time when you Plate Line 盤線 (assuming it is a verb) the 60D, you will obtain 3 sets of Hexagrams comprising, Heaven Yuan Gua 天元本卦, Earth Yuan Gua 地元本卦 and Obscure Heaven Gua 渾天本卦. This technique is known as obtaining 3 kinds of Gua 卦取三般. These 3 kinds of Gua 三般卦 will give the following readings: -1. Earth Plate – Portend占 the Vein and the Meridian2. Human Plate – Portend占 the Effect of the Embrace to the Meridian3. Heaven Plate – Portend占 the Effect of the Water Mouth to the Meridian

​OBSCURE HEAVEN NAJIA 渾天納甲

​The moment you obtain the 3 kinds of Gua 卦取三般, every Hexagram can tell a complete story in itself. The science and art of this is called – Heaven and Earth NaJia 天地納甲. Details can be read from the followings: -

However, when the NaJia 納甲 method is assigned to the Obscure Heaven Gua 渾天本卦, for some SanHe school, it is called, Obscure Heaven NaJia 渾天納甲 – superficially to assign the 60D 透地龍 for the respective GuaYao 卦爻 and to portend 占 the following lucks 運: -

​TO BE CONTINUE, MAYBE…

This paper attempt to examine the “birth” of SanYuan. It is a common understanding that SanYuan is the offspring of SanHe but very little is known of the bridge of how SanYuan is born out of SanHe. Both mainstream schools share closely knitted fundamentals where the 60 JiaZi, notably the hallmark of SanHe, at one point became the 64 Gua, the hallmark of SanYuan. Historically speaking, YangGong, being the forefather of KanYu only has one school. As time passes by, schism arises and this One School is separated into GuFa Pai 古法派 or Old School and XingFa Pai 新法派 or New School. Unlike the former, the later has been generally known as SanHe. This later school includes many other forms of techniques and methodologies not found in GuFa 古法 to a degree it is so confusing and complicated that a new form of KanYu is consolidated, not invented, and was branded as SanYuan, predominantly the birth of the 64 DaGua Ring 大卦盤.

Looking at the revival of XingFa 新法 predominantly practice in HongKong, the use of 72 Penetrating Mountain Dragon 穿山龍 and 60 Penetrating Earth Dragon 透地龍 are at large. Some XingFa 新法 school notably the Liu JiangDong sect adopted technical jargons that are unique and seldom heard of before. A glossary of terminologies are as the followings: -

Many modern academies especially one in Bolehland called, the Money squeezing Academy of Chinese metaphysics (MsAocm) cannot reconcile the theories and application behind the 60 Penetrating Earth Dragon 透地龍. It just show that the level of FengShui understanding of the “Master Trainer” is so much inferior when he attempted to bluff his way through module – 03, teaching this specific methodology. In essence, besides examining the “birth” of SanYuan in a larger context, this paper for the first time and in a narrower context, discloses the intricate work of Penetrating Earth Dragon 透地龍 and its relation to the 60 Obscure Heaven Gua 渾天卦 in English.

​Contemplate this - First observe penetrating mountain tiger, Directional moving earth surfacing dragon… New Method 新法 termed the commonly called Penetrating Mountain Dragon 穿山龍 as Penetrating Tiger 穿山虎. This is an attempt to differentiate between Penetrating Mountain Tiger 穿山虎 and Penetrating Earth Dragon 透地龍. The terms – Dragon 龍 and Tiger 虎 have to be used in pair. That is why it is said that first, use the Penetrating Mountain Tiger 穿山虎 to determine the True Incoming Dragon 真龍入首. Then, to seek out the true Vein 龍脉 use Penetrating Earth Dragon 透地龍. Dragon 龍 and Tiger 虎 have to mutually match just like the spirit 魂 and the soul 魄. These relationships between the Dragon 龍 and the Tiger 虎 are based on the 5 NaYin elemental interplay 納音五行生克.

Honestly speaking, it sounds fantastic in theory but faulty in application, especially in YangZhai 陽宅. To say, it is applicable in YinZhai 陰宅, is also very force fitting. The operative word, is this term - true vein 龍脉, what does it actually measure and how do you measure in YangZhai 陽宅 condominium?

Complications come in the following passage - Obscure Heaven opens the precious mirror 渾天開寶鏡. Precious Mirror 寶鏡 is a term, New Method 新法 use to mean – the LuoPan 羅盤 (Gosh, can’t they think of something simpler?). Obscure Heaven 渾天, on another hand, is something even more complex…

​HEAVEN YUAN 天元 – LIANSHAN PRINCIPAL HEXAGRAM 連山本卦

​LianShan 連山 is the oldest form of Gua arrangement, believed to have been from the Xia Dynasty through the scripture of LianShan, now extinct. LianShan 連山 is pictorially mountain above mountain, represented by the Gen Gua 艮卦 nested within the Qian sector. Gen takes over Qian – the same arrangement to what is known as the Early Heaven sequence. Therefore, it is also known as the Heaven Yuan Principal Hexagram Order 天元本卦. In the order of the 60 Penetrating Earth Dragon 透地龍, it takes the HongLuan JiaZi arrangement 紅鸞甲子, where JiaZi 甲子 raised Xie Gua 解卦. In some school, this 60 Heaven Yuan LianShan Principal Gua Penetrating Earth Dragon 天元連山本卦透地龍 is an extension to Lai BuYi 賴布衣 Human Plate Middle Needle, RenPan ZhongZhen 人盤中針.

​HUMAN YUAN 人元 – ZHOUYI PRINCIPAL HEXAGRAM 周易本卦

​ZhouYi 周易 is the “latest” form of Gua arrangement, believed to have been created by Zhou WenWang 周文王, that we commonly called YiJing . ZhouYi 周易 is modelled against the Later Heaven sequence with Qian Gua as the principal Gua, with 4 cardinal Gua removed namely Li, Kan, Zhen and Dui. Because ZhouYi 周易 is modelled against the natural order, it is also known as the Human Yuan Principal Hexagram Order 人元本卦. In the order of the 60 Penetrating Earth Dragon 透地龍, it also takes the HongLuan JiaZi arrangement 紅鸞甲子, where JiaZi 甲子 raised Bi Gua 比卦. Surprisingly, this is not use in KanYu. Now, you know the pedigree of “Master Trainer” from Money squeezing Academy of Chinese metaphysics (MsAocm) of Bolehland teaching ZhouYi 周易 as the principal Hexagram for 64 DaGua 大卦. Where he gets this idea from?

​EARTH YUAN 地元 – GUIZANG PRINCIPAL HEXAGRAM 歸藏本卦

​GuiZang 歸藏 is the second oldest form of Gua arrangement, believed to have been from the Shang Dynasty, now extinct. GuiZang 歸藏 means return to the concealment or containment, represented by the Kun Gua nested within the Qian sector. Kun takes over Qian – the same arrangement to what is known as the Middle Heaven sequence. Therefore, it is also known as the Earth Yuan Principal Hexagram Order 地元本卦. In the order of the 60 Penetrating Earth Dragon 透地龍, it takes the HongLuan JiaZi arrangement 紅鸞甲子, where JiaZi 甲子 raised Shen Gua 頣卦. In some school, this 60 Earth Yuan GuiZang Principal Gua Penetrating Earth Dragon 地元歸藏本卦透地龍 is an extension to YangGong Earth Plate, DiPan 地盤.

​Not many people heard of HongLuan JiaZi 紅鸞甲子. Even lesser people know of Obscure Heaven Hexagram 渾天卦. Other contemporary scholars believed that this arrangement were created much later by Zhang JiuYi 張九儀, through his writing such as Earth Principle Penetrating Mountain and Earth True Transmission 地理穿山透地真傳, is the so called - Middle Heaven 中天卦, only known by people of that school. Most of the Hexagrams were repeated and were assigned throughout the 60 Penetrating Earth Dragon 透地龍 taking the Penetrating Mountain JiaZi 穿山甲子 instead, where JiaZi 甲子 raised Kan Gua 坎卦. In some school, this Penetrating Tiger and Dragon Yuan Obscure Heaven Principal Gua Penetrating Earth Dragon 穿龍虎元渾天本卦透地龍 is an extension to YangGong Heaven Plate, TianPan 天盤. Very strange that such was never mentioned in the 3 collections of YangGong classics, wonder if it is really the genuine teaching of YangGong FengShui?

​THE THREE YUAN 三元

​In conclusion, because ZhouYi 周易 is not used in the art of KanYu, therefore 3 out of 4 rings namely: -​

These 3 sets of 60D rings form the foundation of the Great SanYuan 大三元. Later days masters, probably as the first generation of SanYuan schools, restructure these Great SanYuan 大三元 and assigned what is probably known as the LianShan GuiZang Gua 連山歸藏卦 into the Circle and Square Diagram 方圓圖, where it became the basis of the 64 DaGua Ring 大卦盤. Only the Heaven and Earth Plate was shown. There is the “missing” Human Plate of the SanYuan DaGua. The true application is in the “missing” Human Plate of the SanYuan DaGua. This is another story for another time…

​TO BE CONTINUE, MAYBE…

​“七十二龍是用於穿山，並非用於水法,用於水法的是紅鸞甲子” - 江靜川大师

“72 Dragon is use as Penetrating Mountain, not use as water method. Use in water method is called HongLuan JiaZi”- Master Jiang JingChuan.

PENETRATING MOUNTAIN AND EARTH 穿山透地

​This is also sometimes called, Mountain Method 山法.

Penetrating Mountain 穿山, comprises of the word Penetration 穿 or sometimes also referring to as Penetrating Earth 透地. Penetration is a verb meaning forcing a way into or through, in this case a Mountain or Earth. It deals with a force that are pushed through from beneath the earth as the unit measurement of Earth Qi 地氣.

WATER METHOD 水法

It is a method to evaluate the quality of water. Water here means the exiting water denoted as the “Water Mouth” 水口. It is an assessment of the Water Mouth.

​Water method enable one to determine the Formation 局 of a given site through the following mantra (Read HERE for more).

Water Mouth 水口 determine Formation 局.

Formation 局 establish Facing.

Facing establish Sitting.

Water Method 水法 is independent from the Mountain Method 山法.

JIAZI DRAGON 甲子龍

SanHe measures Qi as JiaZi 甲子, totalled 30 pairs. Each pair take a unit of NaYin element 納音五行 (Detail read HERE). According to the Book of Burial, every direction has 5 elements. As SanHe measures lateral Qi, every single Branch has 5 elements, totalled 30 pairs. Therefore, each Branch controls 5 JiaZi 甲子, in 2 distinctive orders: -

Penetrating Mountain 穿山 – Dynamic Stem Arrangement

HongLuan 紅鸞 – Static Stem Arrangement

​HongLuan is the arrangement of stem in a static order. Each group of Yang stem shall be led by Jia甲, while the Yin stem shall be led by Yi乙, in a fixed order. In the arrangement of every controlling branches, after Jia is Yi, followed by Jia and Yi and repeat the same. In the 60 JiaZi arrangement, each and every opposite direction of the JiaZi will give you the same NaYin element. This is because only the branch differ but the stem remains the same - Heaven repeat Earth clashes 天伏地反. Location changes but Heaven is unmoved - it is used to measure Heaven Qi.

Penetrating Mountain, however, is takes the arrangement of stem in a dynamic “rotational” order. Each group of Yang stem shall be led by Jia甲 and subsequently rotate among itself. Same is to be said for Yin stem shall be led by Yi乙 and subsequently rotate among itself. in a dynamic order. In the arrangement of every controlling branches, after Jia is Yi, followed by Bing and Ding and repeat the same in a descending order. Penetrating Mountain 穿山 – In the 60 JiaZi arrangement, each and every opposite direction of the JiaZi will not give you the same NaYin element. This is because both the branch and the stem are in total opposite - 天地反吟. Location and Heaven move - it is used to measure Earth Qi.

HongLuan Water Method 紅鸞水法, is based on 72D 5 elements as the principle, HongFan 洪範 (HeTu) 5 elements as application. Discourse such 5 kinship to determine auspicious or inauspicious. What is this HongLuan 紅鸞 72D? Namely, 24 mountains each divide forming 72 subsectors. Very similar to 72D penetrating mountain 穿山. However, penetrating mountain use the wrong sequence, while HongLuan uses the forward sequence. This 72D matches 60 JiaZi positions differed from one another.

One picture above shows 72D penetrating mountain 穿山. 5 Yin 五寅 this stem has no Jia 甲 to begin with but have Bing 丙 to begin thus 丙寅, 庚寅、壬寅、甲寅, these 5 Yin 五寅. 5 Mao 五卯 this stem has no Yi 乙 to begin with but 丁卯、己卯、辛卯、癸卯、乙卯, these 5 Mao 五卯. 5 Chen 五辰 and 5 Si 五巳 this stem are forward arrangement last position. 5 Chen 五辰 has Wu 戊 to begin with 5 Si 五巳 has Ji 己 to begin with. The rest will fall into position. This is a wrong sequence.

The other picture shows 72D HongLuan. This 60D JiaZi is stem all assigned to:

甲丙戊庚壬、乙丁己辛癸​This sequence, so to speak forward arrangement. HongLuan 72D particularly used in assessing water 消水. In use must match HongFan 洪範 (HeTu) 5 elements to determine auspicious or inauspicious.

To be used in establishing seating judging water, HongLuan uses, 甲丙戊庚壬、乙丁己辛癸, forward arrange. With NaYin as its application. Such as; 甲子, 乙丑 as Metal from the Sea, 丙寅,丁卯 as Fire from the Stove, 戊辰,己巳 as Wood from the Forrest,

72D junkies, 1 year has 12 months, each month is govern by one BiGua 辟卦 - 6 Yao forms the 12, as such 72D. In other words, 1 year 24 JieQi, separate into Upper, Middle, Lower, 3 Hou. 3 times 24 begets 72 where it forms the basis for Penetrating Mountain. Use such to establish Xue obtaining Earth Qi such applied.

SO, WHAT IS THE ISSUE?

YangGong may have been the forefather of both SanHe and SanYuan. Within SanHe School itself, known as the gentlemen of GanZhou 赣州, there are 2 antagonistic methods. One called themselves as Old Method 古法 the other, the New Method 新法.

Old Method 古法 do not need to define Mountain Method 山法 or Water Method 水法. Their approach is simple based on two 24 mountain rings. Besides the spot, everything else is measured using the Heaven Plate. New Method 新法 is complex as it also employs other later days grand-master's theories. This school is represented by Hu ShunShen 胡舜申 through his writing – Earth Principle New Methods 地理新法.

The Old Method 古法 School shuns Earth Principle New Methods 地理新法. as it is believed to have been lost. Only a hand copied version was known to have been kept in Korea. The pedigree of this copy is debatable as any FengShui manuscripts deported to alien states outside Imperial Tang are all fabricated false knowledge.

​Jiang JingChuan 江靜川, a contemporary practitioner of HongKong who follows the New Method lineage 新法, mooted this phrase that 72 Dragon is use as Penetrating Mountain, not use as water method. Use in water method is called HongLuan JiaZi. He further claimed that the late Li DingXin 李定信, the kingpin of Old Method 古法 did not understand FengShui. The late Li DingXin 李定信 uses the 72D Penetrating Dragon 穿山龍 and screwed up one significant FengShui grave job big time. It is known as the YangGong Old Method 古法 watershed, a shame to all JiangXi practitioners. Detail read HERE.

Saying that the late Li DingXin 李定信 doesn't know his stuff is very untrue, not at a theoretical level, as he was also the first who explained the meaning of 3-7, 7-3 gold division by interpolating 240D ring into what is probably known as the 120D 百二龍 that uses the HongLuan 紅鸞 order (Detail read HERE). 72D HongLuan 紅鸞 dragon is utterly rubbish...

​ZhenShen 正神. LingShen 零神. ZhaoShen 照神, some called them Direct, Indirect and Sub-direct Spirit principles are the backbone of the Huge SanYuan 大三元, that these conditions must be fulfilled for these techniques to bring results. This is almost liked the True Commandment. However, different schools, different strokes, especially XuanKong schools 玄空派. It was so corrupted these days that we were so familiar with the Flying Star school approach 玄空飛星學, we thought that it is the only true method.​The classic said, “The real key to understand LingShen and ZhengShen is that water is considered prosperous when it is declining and mountain is considered prosperous when it is timely”. Unfortunately, it does not define what water is and what mountain is. Most of the XuanKong schools 玄空派 will take mountain and water almost literary. Mountain is immovable therefore Yin, Water flowing therefore it is Yang. No argument about that. Where there must be mountain, XuanKong schools 玄空派 will advise you to build a building or to put heavy furniture. Where there must be water, XuanKong schools 玄空派 will advise you to build a water feature or to dig a pond. These are also among the pet methods of XuanKong DaGua 玄空大卦.

​LOSHU ESTABLISHES DIRECT/INDIRECT 雒書定零正

The first approach – is a fixed pattern based on the LuoShu. It is also known as the Static Plate.

Generally, the LoShu is made out of period 1-9 having the period-5 in the centre. Collectively, period 1-4 is known as the Upper Cycle and period 6-9 is known as the Lower Cycle. What is deemed to be a place to see mountain in the Upper Cycle may change to be a place to see water in the Lower Cycle. The same is true for the place to see water in the Upper Cycle may change to be a place to see mountain in the Lower Cycle. This is called, FengShui forever changing… wonder when it will reach my turn 風水輪流轉, 何時到我家?

Specifically, in Period-8 the ZhengShen 正神 is in the NE-8 GenGua. Because in Period-8, Gen location is timely, therefore vibrant. Overly Yang will not produce. Therefore it cannot see water, which is Yang in nature. It must see mountain, which is Yin in nature. The opposite direction, SW-2 KunGua, is untimely and it is the LingShen 零神 where it should see water, which is Yang in nature to make it vibrant once more. The HeTu of 8 is 3, therefore E-3 is known as ZhaoShen 照神. Because it is untimely, it should see water, which is Yang in nature.

In layman terms, in Period-8 (2004-2024), NE will see prosperity. So much vibrant that the concentration of people will see development of high-rises of high densities in a cramp spaces. High densities and cramp spaces are the signifier of mountain. Because of over population, the opposite SW which is less vibrant would see people expanding outward occupying the “empty” space of SW. This is the signifier of water. The neighbor of SE which is E will also benefited from it – potential growth center, signifier of water. Based on this “layman terms”, do you still see mountain as mountain and water as water?​Wherever you see mountain it denotes, the prosperity has reached its pinnacle and in the progress of declining. Wherever you see water it denotes, the growth potential of that place is picking up and it is going to be the future development for that area. These are the 2 barometers in forecasting the timing of growth of a particular space in SanYuan space time continuum.

​THE LITMUS TEST – KLANG VALLEY

Bolehland’s Kuala Lumpur’s prosperity is annexe to the Klang River. It flows from the northeast to the southwest. This river exits through the Klang harbour. Klang has been a town since the 14 century before the tin mining revolution. It was the capital of Selangor in an earlier era prior to the emergence of Kuala Lumpur and the current capital, Shah Alam.

The birth of Kuala Lumpur was due to the water mouth known to be the confluence of Gombak and Klang River as the growth catalyst through the 1820s. By 1950s Kuala Lumpur is already congested.

A new town called Petaling Jaya was born. Petaling Jaya became the satellite town of Kuala Lumpur, as an industrialised township. By 1960s Petaling Jaya itself is congested. More water mouths along the Klang River has been locked by then.

Fast-forward another 30 years, Shah Alam was born. It takes over Petaling Jaya as an industrialised township. Unfortunately Shah Alam has many water mouths unlock. In the midst of expansion, another town is created called Subang Jaya around 1970s, supporting Petaling Jaya. Therefore since the 1980s to 2000, growth centres had been slow reaching the western part of Shah Alam towards Klang itself.

​THE PROOF OF THE PUDDING IS IN THE EATING

KL circa 1920s – Period-4. By 1950s Kuala Lumpur is already congested. In Period 5, for the first 10 years it follows Period-4. So, the first 10 years SE-4 would have been congested. SE of KL is Kajang. Unfortunately, Kajang has not been developed since! What about the next 10 years that follows Period-6, NW-6 would be congested? NW of KL is Sungai Buloh. This area is use to be the known as the town for the leprosy because of its seclusion… Reverse engineer, looking at the LingShen 零神, opposite of SE is NW and in fact, both are secluded areas. Sungai Buloh, now being part of PJ prosper around 2000s – Period-8.

PJ circa 1960s – Period 6. NW-6 should have been congested by then, SE-4 should have been the new growth centre. SE of PJ is Puchong and Sri Kembangan. It is true that urban spiralling has reached the SE of PJ, but this only happened in the 1990s when the ex-mining and dumpsite has been reclaimed. Instead it was Subang Jaya, SW of PJ that is booming during the 1970s.

SJ circa 1970s – Period 6. NW-6 should have been congested by then, SE-4 should have been the new growth centre. SE of SJ is Puchong and Sri Kembangan. It is true that urban spiralling has reached the SE of SJ, but this only happened in the 1990s, Period-7. Instead, the W part of PJ proper developed into SA.

SA circa 1990s – Period 7. W-7 should have been congested by then, E-3 should have been the new growth centre. E of SA is PJ, already a congested place.​PutarJaya circa 2000 – Period 8. NE-8 should have been congested by then, SW-2 should have been the new growth centre. SW of KL is Puchong and Sri Kembangan. Instead the government of Bolehland decided to move to PutarJaya which is the S of KL.

CONCLUSION

The application of Direct/Indirect Spirit or ZhenShen 正神. LingShen 零神. ZhaoShen 照神 based on the current understanding available in the market FAILED miserably in this litmus test. It is NEVER to be applied in this manner... Timeliness is also not meant to be applied in this manner...

​The FORTUNE of a place is dependable on its WATER MOUTH. First – look at the water mouth! If it is locked – you PROSPER. If it is not lock – you PAUPER. Prosperity of a place, begins with the river – source of transportation. Where two rivers meet, people from different places would gathered and trade. Trade is the foundation of Prosperity. When trade occur, a market place will exist. Store houses will be built close to the water mouth. These are the “mountain locking the water mouth”. A market place would grow into town and eventually, city.​FengShui theories state, Heaven bestow; Earth receive. The source, stream and the water mouth are the “Blood Vein” of the land. The idea of a “Dragon” is referred to this “blood vein”. Whenever it is locked, a meridian will form. This place will prosper. Every Prosperity is not perpetual. The theory specify a cycle of JiaZi – a Yuan 元, where the 3 Cycles 9 Periods 三元九運 are derived. To be perpetual, the key is in – reactivation, similar to the application of BaZhai 八宅. ​​The true application of ​ZhenShen 正神. LingShen 零神. ZhaoShen 照神, are water mouth dependent. LoShu establish Direct Indirect 雒書定零正 already tell you this. LoShu 雒書 is the General Principle of the movements of Rivers. Again - such opens up to another argument called - the Dynamic Plate of ZhenShen 正神. LingShen 零神. This will be yet another story for another time.

OLD SPIRITS TASTE GOOD...

The Spirits Of Mutiara Damansara & Mount Kiara - 29112009

The way the landforms are being crafted with roads, by the days, is astonishing. Where there are roads, there are opportunities. Similarly with the notion of Ling and Zhen Shen or Direct and Indirect Spirit. Very much useful for site selection and to know when a site selected will actually boom. The following tales may knock some sense out of these spirits: -

Prior to 2000, an area known as Kota Damansara was actually called Sungai Buloh. Not a Soul would want to live at this area. Post 2004, saw a mega make over with the enclave of what is now known as Mutiara Damansara. This very location is a sunken landforms embraced by the incoming mountains originated all the ways from Rawang. This location is currently enjoying the boom that the period 8 has brought in exactly at the Southwest location of Kun.

Similarly, on the reverse side of the embrace, an area part of Mount Kiara witnessed the rises of the residential towers, so cluttered, it becomes the so called Direct Spirit. The location is Northeast, Gen. Not so much of commercialization activities at this very location as it is the fringe development radiated from the Mount Kiara town center.

This very case demonstrated that when period 8 comes in, Gen (Northeast) location is being too Yang, it cannot see water. What does it means as being too Yang? Seeing water means really seeing physical water? So this Yang location is called Direct spirit of period 8.

Opposite of period 8 is the Indirect spirit in the Kun (Southwest) location. Being too Yin, it must see water. Yet there is no physical water in Mutiara Damansara! And it is booming by the days. Why?

We have a series of mountain that virtually separate these two locations, not otherwise the highway called Penchala Link would not need to go through the tunnel to link the other sides. As the case demonstrated, where is the location of the center 5? Is there a smaller TaiQi within the larger one? Or a larger TaiQi within a smaller one? Is the water mouth for both areas are locked? Which area is conforming to the direct and indirect spirit and which area are not?

So, instead of putting the spirit in the bottle and be drunken for the whole days, lets keep sober and see things through a different lens. Perhaps we may spot on the spirits one day!

​The Question Of Subtleties - 25112009

In view that SanYuan rested on timing. YinYang Qi map is the fundamental of where to locate water and where to locate mountain. All this is term direct and indirect spirit, LingZhen.

2 cycles 8 periods referred to the Heaven Qi. There are only upper and lower cycles. Upper cycle governs period 1, 2, 3 and 4. Lower cycle governs period 6, 7, 8 and 9. There is no period 5. In the 2 cycles 8 periods, each period governs an unequal number of years. Each Yang Yao within the ruling Gua governs 6 years and the Yin Yao within the ruling Gua governs 9 years. For example in the upper cycle of period 1, the governing Gua is Kan Gua. Kan Gua has 2 Yin Yao and 1 Yang Yao. Therefore, the period 1 will last for 24 years.

The absent of period 5 is called the invincible period. It is the igniting element that will propel the cure throughout the 180 years and therefore are known as The SanYuan BuBai. So highly mysterious that it is also annexed to the method of XieZi.

On the other hand, XuanKong DaGua (XKDG) is annexed to the 2 cycles 8 period principle. It is therefore, a Heaven Qi manipulation method befitted as a date selection technique.

One postulation suggests that 5 yellow exist in earth Qi because the 5 yellow is the center of the earth with the operative method rested on AiXing, Leaning Star with the quest to move the center of the Earth in sync with the Heaven Qi.

The Purple White Script, ZiBai Jue, is one of the fragments dislocated from the entire body of knowledge within this SanYuan framework. Similarly so with XuanKong FeiXing (Flying Star), BaZhai (8 Mansions) and LongMen BaDa Ju (Dragon Gate 8 Formations), are just subsets of the entire framework. These piece-meals methods are called, end user methodology.

The pretext state, Heaven has 9 stars, Earth has 8 Gua and Human (Man) has 8 doors. If we see SanYuan as Heaven, Earth and Man, the valid method must encompass of matching the Heaven Qi with the Earth Qi to unlock the gateways within so that the parallel dimensions between the human realm and the supernatural realm is open. Does it sound “hocus-pocus”?

As above so below is an alternative view of how Heaven Qi influences the Earth Qi and in return, how Earth Qi influence Human Being. This postulation is annex to the asterism above influence the gravitational pull that result in having mountains, the solid and rivers, the void shape the landforms that we know today. This is however, a single dimensional point of view.

What that is not explained is at every point on Earth, there is a portal ready to be opened where scripts liked the leaning, expanding, contracting, hugging, replacement are all the essence to open up the portals so that an affinity with the other side is established.

The key to these, again, are the Yi TaiQi that spins in one direction in order to open the Dao TaiQi that spin the reverse order. This is where the understanding of landforms via LingZhen spirit becomes largely important and it is the backbone of the Greater SanYuan.

Ling and Zhen as a principle is static apply for both 2 cycles and 3 cycles respectively. But the dynamic part for Earth Qi is largely governed by landforms. If the theory of as above so below is valid, then the reflections of the landforms must correspond to the asterism as above. It must works in both ways. This is to inform that by plainly accepting XKDG as a date selection without looking the actual star that present and the governing Qi respectively, SanYuan portal will not be opened. This is where results are inconsistent as sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.

When we stacked the multi layers of SanYuan AiXing against the dimension of time with the arrangement of the doors, what is present to us is a stacking of multi-dimensional model, where stars lean against one another locking and unlocking the multi dimensional portals.Is this mysterious subtleties?

​Why My Spirits Cannot Work - 30062010

We came across the term – TaiJi spot. Others called it by many names such as Heaven’s Heart, center of the TaiJi or simply the threshold of Yin and Yang. In any circumstances it is the first layer of the many FengShui method of applications. Some called it arranging YinYang (Pai YinYang).Failure to establish such may results in the wrong applications of Direct/Indirect Spirits, the back bone of the huge SanYuan principles and arranging the dragons (Pai Long) for the SanHe principles. Forget about the method of establishing measurement using the LuoPan (LiPan) for the various methods if the fundamental of establishing the TaiJi spot is not first established. Next time when you play XuanKong FeiXing, DaGua and the sorts while busy measuring the facing and the sitting as in the tilt of the door, foot or headboard or even tomb stones, think about it – where is your TaiJi spot? The center of the 64 Gua or the center of your house?

Terry Gou 郭台銘 born October 8, 1950 is a Taiwanese tycoon who is the founder and chairman of Foxconn, a company that does contract manufacturing of electronics for other companies such as Apple Inc. It is the largest electronics manufacturing Services Company in the world, with factories in several countries, mostly in mainland China, where it employs 1.2 million people and is its largest exporter. Source - Wikipedia

Gou was born to a poor family where his father was just a career police officer. At one time, they were so poor that the entire family live in a temple 慈惠宮 nearby. Occupying a sanctum now known as the God of Wealth altar 五路財神殿, it was said that exactly that spot called the Toad Meridian 蟾蜍穴 is the FengShui meridian originated from the vein of BanJio Ling’s Family 板橋林家的龍脈 that has the capacity to produce tycoon. Terry Gou was lucky to have live there for almost a decade that the luck of his family begin to change for the better, therefore they move.

Gou’s father passed away at the ripe age of 80 and was buried in North Taiwan, village of SanXia, White Rooster Mount 台北縣三峽鎮白雞山區. White Rooster Mount 白雞山 comprises of 3 peaks – Deer Cave Peak 鹿窟尖, Rooster Shape Mount 雞罩山 and White Rooster Mount 白雞山. It was believed that this spot FengShui also benefited Gou.

​Era of the Republic’s 91 years of Rule,Established Yi Mountain facing Xin, Water River Jie Hexagram,SanYuan 9 Period – Period 7,Incoming Dragon: Mao Dragon,Seating Xue: Yi mountain Xin facing spur MaoYou,Water mouth: XinXu Palace,Receiving Bright Hall Water [Big Panther Creek]: YiChen Left to Right Flow, Receiving Embrace: Yi, XunSi, KunShen, (denotes) Grave, Extinct and Growth peak denotes auspicious for the 1st family son not for the 2nd and the third.

​Then the question come… who is the FengShui master behind the success of Gou?

​THE ILLUSIVE FATHER AND SON FENGSHUI MASTERS - 福惠堂林金寶父子

This team of FengShui family shun publicity, the perfect candidate for most of the tycoon in Taiwan alike. Unlike their contemporary that pay heavily for advertisement and buy their ways to be media darling, this father and son team is so low profile that you don’t even notice that they actually existed. Their FengShui establishment is hidden within the alley that you need to observe closely to see their hall mark marked FuHui Tang 福惠堂. This FengShui outlet is formerly helmed by Master Lin ChunXiong 林春雄 (The Elder Lin) and now handed over to Master Lin JingBao 林金寶 (The Younger Lin). Collectively, they are responsible for the success of Gou’s industrial ventures.

Ever since, many other tycoons are hunting them down and strangely, another FengShui master by the name of Zhang QingYuan 张清渊 publicly disclosed that he is the legitimate FengShui master for Terry Gou 郭台铭御用风水师. Zhang QingYuan 张清渊 has since been very active in the media and FengShui circle within the non-Chinese speaking community too. He has written a so called – The World’s Numero-Uno Encyclopaedia of FengShui LiQi Book 天下第一风水理气大全. You may have a chance to learn from him…

​CONCLUSION

​There are always 2 sides to the truth. The genuine one would preferred to be extremely low profile while the others may opt for a more glamorous path such as calling themselves as – Public Figure… Have you ever wonder why?

OLD GLAMOROUS TEACHING OF PUBLIC FIGURE FENGSHUI MASTERS

​Confession of an Instructor Part One - 01122008

I remembered a conversation I had with an instructor in the self acclaimed academy of Chinese Metaphysics in town; he admits that right up to this date, he has to teach all the redundant formulae laced in the module work book that it is almost worthless. I asked, if he doesn’t believe in the system why would he continue and silent was his only reply. He then said, if by all means he could help is to go beyond the system of the academy by affording others to be aware of these redundant formulae via other means, at least his Karmic effect would have been lessened. On such accord, it will be instrumental to share with the masses of what these redundant theories are all about. Hopefully, other good souls could also help to spread the “gospel” in light of the coming Armageddon for the ride by night academy.

The lesson on 8 mansions was a disgrace. Yet these proprietors had the cheek to lace it as advance 8 mansions by incorporating the system of NaJia, when the notion of NaJia had been grossly misinterpreted. The good thing is, this proprietor advocated the House Gua instead of the Ming Gua and at least husband and wife of different Gua group will not have to sleep in separate beds. Yet the confusions is so much that later on by the day, when the introduction of Shen’s Flying Star comes into the picture, trying to blend both methods result in disasters. Yet these proprietors have the cheek to find ways of consolidation beyond the means of natural order, seemingly force fitted and they re-brand it as whatsoever for life. Can one believe it?

The most fundamental of establishing sitting and facing is grossly erred. Stepping 3 feet behind, looking outward from the inside is ridicules, not in virtue of concept but in virtue of logic. The reasons of free from magnetic interference were absolute rubbish. All from the first lesson to the last were talking about establishing facing versus location, sitting versus facing with charts that does not fit into real life applications of the LuoPan. When it comes to measuring the bed, stove and the office desk, it will be a whole lot of display of whimsical fallacies, so force fitted that students at the end of the day will require purchasing a LuoPan, of inconsistent rings, that they are only taught to use the 24 mountain ring for everything below Heaven. How thoughtful and wise, after that, be called as a practitioner. Imagined, how many others will first be conned then insult in this manner.

For the rest of the course, one seemingly consistency is the lesson on Shen’s Flying Star was taught when, the academy, in fact, did not believe in it. I would strongly recommend the book written by a Singapore Teacher Practitioner called something liked, Fundamental of the Science of FengShui, which cost lesser then a real life course and loaded with better information on the lesson of Shen’s Flying Star methodology. In a nutshell, the course is worthless. To those who are Chinese literate, might as well read from the source book of Shen Si Xuan Kong Xue, in three volumes.

However, the highlight was the instructor, whom capitalized on the academy’s fame and marketing to provide private consultation beyond the charges of the founder proprietor himself, taking all opportunity of the class to first Con his potential client, then Insult them accordingly for seemingly private BaZi readings that cost a fortune to the unassumingly students of metaphysics, notably the well to do ones. Out of fear these students duly complied to his request that always end with an audit that cost a hefty price with seemingly no follow-up. As the local market is seemingly waned, the efforts to sell these courses are booming elsewhere in the western and southern part of the world, repeating its cycle once again, in full force.

​Confession of an Instructor Part Two - 01122008

In Level 2: -​The lesson starts with the so-called 8 Killing forces at its most blatant serving, almost devoid of the fact that this is indeed a SanHe method best used with a SanYuan LuoPan, how insightful? It starts with the deliberation of incoming dragon from Kan cannot meet door facing at Chen, otherwise the occupants of the property will be dead. How convenience. Next, the applied version of a house sitting in Chen cannot see broken mountain in Kan. Same disaster will befall to the occupant of the property. How convincing. Nothing mentioned about the source of this method, keeping everyone in the dark. Next, in the higher level, it was revealed that it has a later and early heaven application. This is very refreshing for a SanHe method interpreted in a SanYuan ways, a very interesting point of departure.

Next, the 8 Roads of Destruction shared the same blatant serving, using the SanYuan LuoPan, very insightful. No discussion on the nature of this method as a derivative from more reliable sources. In the higher levels, when the assistant star water method was taught, students are more confused as in one method, water exit were auspicious and the others were not. So, which is right and which is wrong? Such inconsistency is obvious for the rest of the lessons, available or noticeable only by the initiated. By the time, one knew of the facts, it would be too late. Again, the graphical representations are not reflective of the way it is applied in real life. How could the student master the art?

Next, the peach blossom water, measuring incoming with the SanYuan LuoPan again. 3 Harmony roads indicating SanHe as the followings, if there is a mountain in Shen, house sitting in Zi and water exiting in Chen, then this will form the water frames of Shen Zi Chen, conforming to the SanHe principle, obviously a method to make millionaires. Same were to be applied indoor with tables, chairs and book selves. Don’t forget the aquarium! This is SanHe methodology using the SanYuan LuoPan.

Next, the TaiYang Dau Shan date selection for the mortification of SanSha, TaiSui and SuiPo. The assumption were based on when the sun arrive at the mountain, all the evils will be pacify. Question, what has SanSha, TaiSui and SuiPo being the stars of ShenSha method has to do with this method? Are these stars evil by its own nature? Is TaiYang Dau Shan a method for date selection? Think again?

Next, the 5 Ghost carry tidbits, using the SanYuan LuoPan. This is a derivation method, only being informed to the students when they had reached level 5, as being part of the FuXing XuiFa. Complicating it with NaJia, the application was served raw in piecemeal beyond recognition, implying the application for the external. None has any clue pertaining to its application in reality.​Next, a revisit of Shen’s Flying Star and more 8 mansions screwed up theories before calling it up for the day. No question shall be entertained as more revelation will come in the higher level and kindly register with the marketer just outside of the lecture room for early bird discount. That was the parting message. Formally concluded means, the informal business of ConSulting for the instructor begins. How convenience. After graduating, students are able to call themselves as advance practitioner. Very wise indeed.

​Confession of an Instructor Part Three - 01122008

In level 3 and a half: -The opening lessons are all recognizing of landforms and its terminology of which is obvious and are largely made available in Chinese book on the same topic. Walking the dragon via the projectors with half cooked imagery, the wises choice besides FengShui entourage.

The main dish of the days is the water method in SanHe. Now, students must buy the SanHe LuoPan. What is to be used of the SanYuan LuoPan, nobody knows. The most impressive of all is the SanHe 4 major water exits. There are basically 4 structures, of which water must not be outgoing from these directions and water must best come in from these directions. It is therefore paramount important to establish the following auspicious facing to tap into the water mouth which is equivalent to the road junctions. Facing is based on the gate, so tilting of gates is the norm of SanHe FengShui, just to receive water. Use this method together with the 72 dragon for measuring the quality of the Gaps, based on the HETU luck cycle with the selections only of the Bing, Ding, Geng and Xin stems for the rest is emptiness called turtle shell and squeezing emptiness, based on WenWang NaJia postulation. Interesting hypothesis indeed. These are all fallacies.

The sub-dishes are nothing but the introduction of mountain method notably of LaiGong’s human plate, measuring and divination of the embrace, determine the quality of the veins and spots using the 60 dragons, taught in half heartedly without dwelling in the basics of how would such 60 dragons be established from the outer to the inner rings of the LuoPan. A brushing encounter of the 3 auspicious 6 elegance method of embrace for the evaluation of the vicinity, as a standalone technique devoid of the water method, classify as SanHe and solely squeeze into the 24 mountain Earth plate of the SanHe LuoPan. These are also fallacies.

Again, upon graduation, one is entitled to be called; super advance practitioner and God bless all. Until such, no clue whatsoever of taking a sitting and a facing the SanHe method. This time around, the instructor has no time to answer question let alone do any sideline income from the students.
